I grappled a lot with the main character. I understand that she’s supposed to be flawed neither good or bad bc that’s how most people are. Everyone can be a bad guy. But idk she played everything her way and by her terms and I understand that she’s queer but she used everyone almost all the way until the end all because the character always gets her way. I can’t say that I love that. It just left me wanting more. I kept feeling like what else is there? It kept referencing that she’s a sexual Icon and idk it felt repetitive and obvious
